Good readers connect what they already know to what they encounter in texts. Children make personal connections with the text by using their schema (background knowledge). They draw on their personal experiences (text-to-self connections), their knowledge of the world (text-to-world connections) and their previous experiences with texts (text-to-text connections).
Readers should think: This reminds me of... This author always... This is the same as...
There are three main types of connections we make while reading text. They draw on their personal experiences (text-to-self connections), their knowledge of the world (text-to-world connections) and their previous experiences with texts (text-to-text connections).
Text-to-Self (T-S)Good readers make personal connections to a story. It helps them understand how the characters feel and makes them understand the book better!
Text-to-Text (T-T) Refers to connections made between a text being read to a text that was previously read.
Text-to-World (T-W)Refers to connections made between a text being read and something that occurs in the world.
